Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to a SSL lamp comprising three or more elongated light emitting structures.
  • SSL lamps solid state lighting lamps
  • LED lamps LED lamps
  • SSL lamps are becoming increasingly more energy efficient while the light flux from a typical SSL lamp is increasing. The increased light flux and low energy consumption allows for that SSL lamps are used for constantly growing number of applications.
  • SSL lamps offer significant advantages as compared to traditional incandescent lamps in many aspects, the appearance and light distribution is generally considered as less attractive due to several reasons.
  • a SSL lamp typically emits a bright directional light. Light emitted from a SSL lamp is often perceived as cold and less decorative due to the high color temperature of the light and the typical directionality. For this reason, there are many SSL lamps available aiming at producing an omnidirectional light flux with a light having a relatively speaking lower color temperature. Such SSL lamps are in other words in some respects trying to resemble or mimic the appearance of a traditional incandescent lamp.
  • a traditional incandescent lamp generally has a thin filament which is heated to an elevated temperature, thereby providing a light when glowing or burning.
  • the light emitted from a traditional incandescent lamp generally has a lower color temperature as compared to a typical SSL light source.
  • the omnidirectionality is generally not considered a problem.
  • the typical characteristics of a traditional incandescent lamp is therefore commonly perceived as being warm and decorative as compared to SSL lamps based on LED or laser light sources.
  • CN 205065343U discloses an SSL lamp according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • SSL lamps Various technical solutions for SSL lamps exist, aiming at trying to mimic the appearance of a traditional incandescent lamp. Generally, these technical solutions tend to become glary, a problem which becomes increasingly pronounced in case the SSL lamp in questions is employed with a transparent bulb. The use of a transparent bulb is common for so called clear candles and bulbs where the lamp is expected to be viewed directly by a user. The glary nature of the SSL lamps typically inhibits the use of the otherwise attractive SSL lamps in e.g. decorative applications, where the lamp is expected to be viewed directly.
  • a SSL lamp comprising: three or more elongated light emitting structures, wherein a respective first end of each of the three or more elongated light emitting structures are arranged such that they define a first polygon, and wherein a portion of each of the three or more elongated light emitting structures are arranged in vicinity of each other such that the three or more elongated light emitting structures crosses each other at a smallest angle of at least 30 degrees, thereby forming a common neck, characterized in that the light emitting structures comprise a central portion, said central portion of each of the light emitting structures are arranged in vicinity of each other such that the three or more light emitting structures crosses each other.
  • the SSL lamp emits light having a relatively speaking even light distribution allowing for that the SSL lamp may be used in various applications intended for traditional incandescent lamps.
  • the SSL lamp emits light having a light distribution mimicking a traditional incandescent lamp, which results in that the SSL lamp may be used as a retrofit to replace traditional incandescent lamps or in specific tailor-made applications.
  • the SSL lamp emits light from three or more elongated light emitting structures being arranged in vicinity of each other such that the three or more elongated light emitting structures crosses each other at a smallest angle of at least 30 degrees while forming a common neck results in that the SSL lamp produces a sparkling effect. More specifically, since the light emitting structures crosses each other at a smallest angle of at least 30 degrees in a fashion were a common neck is formed, a pronounced sparkling effect is achieved. In general, a sparkling effect is appreciated by a person viewing a lamp. At the same time a lamp having the above sparkling effect is generally considered as less glary.
  • the SSL lamp will generally be considered as less glary and more sparkly when the three or more elongated light emitting structures crosses each other at a smallest angle of at least 30 degrees while forming a common neck. This arrangement, thus renders the SSL lamp attractive and suitable for decorative applications where the SSL lamp is expected to be viewed directly by a user.
  • the appreciated sparkling effect is generally stronger when a user is able to see what can be considered a true cross of light emitting structures, owing from the nature of the human eye and the perception of the user.
  • the appreciated sparkling effect is generally achieved when light emitting structures crosses each other at a relatively speaking large smallest angle, such as at least 30 degrees.
  • the term "light emitting structure” may be any type of structure, active or passive which may emit light.
  • the light emitting structure may generate light which is emitted from the structure.
  • the light emitting structure may receive and conduct or guide light being generated external of the structure, which conducted light is then emitted from the structure.
  • the light emitting structure may comprise a LED element generating light.
  • the light emitting structure may comprise an organic light emitting diode, OLED, a polymer light emitting diode, PLED, or a solid state laser generating light.
  • the light emitting element may be a translucent element comprising a rough surface for scattering light.
  • light impinging on the light emitting structure may be transported within the structure and subsequently scattered and emitted at a different location of the structure.
  • a solid state laser such as a laser diode, may advantageously be used in combination with a structure for transporting and scattering light.
  • the light emitting structure may thus be made of a translucent material which allows for that light may be transported within the structure, or the light emitting structure may not be able to transport light within the structure.
  • the light emitting structure may comprise active portions, generating light, and passive portions, receiving and emitting light.
  • the term “elongated light emitting structure” may be any type of light emitting structure having a length of at least three times a width.
  • the term "arranged in vicinity of each other” may refer to any smallest distance between any of the elongated light emitting structures not exceeding two times a largest cross section of any of the elongated light emitting structures. In other words, the distance between any two elongated light emitting structures being located closest to each other may not exceed two times the cross section of the respective elongated light emitting structures.
  • the three or more elongated light emitting structures may be arranged such that the smallest distances between the three or more elongated light emitting structures are equal, as for example when the three or more elongated light emitting structures are symmetrically arranged.
  • the term “common neck” may refer to any physical arrangement, where the three or more elongated light emitting structures are arranged such that they are arranged in vicinity of each other at common location, thereby forming a distinct smallest cross section of a volume defined by the three or more elongated light emitting structures.
  • the common neck is defined by a minimum cross section of an arrangement comprising elongated light emitting structures.
  • the neck may hence be formed at any point along a longitudinal extension of the respective elongated light emitting structures, as the common neck is solely defined by the arrangement of the respective elongated light emitting structures and not the shape and size of the respective elongated light emitting structures.
  • the three or more elongated light emitting structures may typically be arranged so as to define a volume resembling an hourglass, where two bulblike volumes are connected by a narrow neck, the common neck.
  • a tripod configuration is thus achieved
  • four elongated light emitting structures are used a quadrupod configuration is thus achieved.
  • the term "smallest angle of at least 30 degrees" may be any smallest angle when an elongated light emitting structure crosses another elongated light emitting structure. More specifically, two angles are defined when two light emitting structures are crossing each other. The angles so defined, together amounts to 180 degrees, i.e. the sum of the angles is 180 degrees. Hence, a projection of an elongated light emitting structure in a normal direction of a longitudinal axis thereof crosses another elongated light emitting structure such that the smallest angle defined is equal to or exceeds 30 degrees. In other words, a distinct cross is formed by the light emitting structures crossing each other.
  • At least one of the three or more elongated light emitting structures may be an active light emitting structure in the form of an elongated LED filament.
  • light may be generated by at least one of the three or more elongated light emitting structures, while light is received and transported within the other elongated light emitting structures and subsequently scattered and emitted at a different location of the structure.
  • a sparkling effect may thus be achieved in a simple and yet effective manner, while producing an even light distribution.
  • LED filament may be any type of LED light source aiming at mimicking an incandescent filament to some extent.
  • a general LED filament comprises a series of LED elements on a transparent substrate, generally made of glass or sapphire.
  • the substrate and LED elements are generally covered with a phosphor comprising coating used to convert the light emitted by the LED into light having desired properties.
  • a phosphor comprising coating used to convert the light emitted by the LED into light having desired properties.
  • blue light is emitted from the LED elements and converted into a mixture of red, green and blue light.
  • elongated LED filament may be any type of LED filament having a length of at least three times a width.
  • At least one of the three or more elongated light emitting structures may be an active light emitting structure in the form of an elongated light emitting structure comprising a solid state laser.
  • light may be generated by at least one of the three or more elongated light emitting structures, while light is received and transported within the other elongated light emitting structures and subsequently scattered and emitted at a different location of the structure.
  • a sparkling effect may thus be achieved in a simple and yet effective manner, while producing an even light distribution.
  • At least one of the three or more elongated light emitting structures may be a passive light emitting structure in the form of an elongated light scattering feature, which is advantageous in that a sparkling effect may be achieved in a simple and yet effective manner, while producing an even light distribution. Further, the use of passive light emitting structures may allow for a simplified manufacturing using a reduced number of electrical connections and electronic components.
  • the three or more elongated light emitting structures may be active light emitting structures in the form of elongated LED filaments, which is advantageous in that a distinct sparkling effect may be achieved while producing an even light distribution.
  • a respective second end of each of the three or more elongated light emitting structures may be arranged such that they define a second polygon, the first and second polygons being rotated relative each other.
  • the first polygon and the second polygon may be of equal shape, which is advantageous in that a symmetric arrangement of the three or more elongated light emitting structures may be realized, resulting in an even light distribution.

  • first polygon 150 and the second polygon 152 are slightly tilted with respect to each other. In other words, respective planes defined by the first polygon 150 and the second polygon 152 are not parallel. The first polygon 150 and the second polygon 152 may be tilted with any angle with respect to each other.
  • each of the light emitting structures 102, 104, 106 are arranged in vicinity of each other such that the three light emitting structures 102, 104, 106 crosses each other.
  • the three light emitting structures 102, 104, 106 crosses each other at a smallest angle of at least 30 degrees as explained above in conjunction with Fig. 1 .
  • a common neck 120 is formed where the three light emitting structures 102, 104, 106 crosses each other. As can be seen in Fig. 3 , the respective elongated light emitting structures 102, 104, 106 crosses each other in an angled fashion at the common neck 120.
  • the elongated light emitting structures 102, 104, 106 are arranged in a transparent bulb 110 employed with an opening 114 as described above in conjunction with Fig. 1 . Further, a socket 112 is provided as described above in conjunction with Fig. 1 .
  • the present invention has been exemplified by describing a limited number of embodiments. It is however to be understood that a large number of embodiments and variations may easily be effected by combining what is described for the respective embodiments.
  • the arrangement of the elongated light emitting structures 102, 104, 106, 108 may be greatly varied irrespective of the general design of the SSL lamp 100 and the bulb 110 used therein. It is to be understood that the shape and size of the bulb 110 and socket 112 may be varied depending on specific needs. Moreover, the bulb 110 and/or socket 112 may be omitted.
  • the shape, size, light flux, color temperature, etcetera of the elongated active light emitting features 102, 104, 106, 108 may be varied without departing from the scope of the present inventive concept.
  • the shape, size, extension, orientation, type, opacity, color, width, length etcetera of the passive light emitting features 104, 106 may be varied without departing from the scope of the present inventive concept.
  • the physical dimensions of the SSL lamp 100 may be varied without departing from the scope of the present application. This allows for that the general inventive concept may be used in number of retrofit applications as well as in tailor-made specific applications.
